Someone can correct me, but from what I understand it's possible to do
this, but it's not really intended as the primary use case.  We're mostly
targeting desktop paradigm here not necessarily a dev-ops/systems admin
tool.  But it definitely has some benefits in that space if used properly.

You would have to do some research to make something like this happen.
While I might try to put out a theoretical method, I've been removed from
flatpak enough that I'll probably get it wrong. :-)
